News Article: Tony Brown's Mom: "He's Going to do Whatever He has to do to Start"

I hope he learns the defense because he sure is talented. He strikes me as a fearless corner eager to take on the best competition.
Worth quoting:
"She [his mother] added that he has a 3.4 GPA after a semester and he hopes to graduate in 2.5 years with 17 college credits earned while in high school under his belt."

When I saw tony in the 7on7 tournament, and he was shutting people down (when offense rules the day in these things)...I was impressed. If he learns the defense, imo, he will be starting by the end of the year.
Too often negative news from football programs with regard to off the field decisions by some young men. It is certainly refreshing reading about young men like Tony who have a plan on how to succeed. In Tony Brown's case, his talent will probably take him on to the NFL but his education will ultimately help define his future. He reminds me of a Kevin Norwood type who took care of his educational opportunity (got his Masters) while excelling on the football field.
Tony represents what's good in college football & I'm glad he representing The Crimson Tide..We're already proud of you Tony for the kinda grades youve kept up & still dominate on the football field as well..
If he's that smart, he should learn the defense quicker than those who've come before. I expect to see a lot of him this season.
Agreed. Smarts, an attitude of doing whatever it takes, focus on whatever is in front of him (whether academics or football), a semester's credit before he ever hit campus, a spring semester and summer school on campus, a spring training, 9 months under Cochran, and honor roll academics while doing all of the above.
Yes, he'll pick up the defense quickly. But it's still Saban's defense, and his DBs.
I expect early positional (i.e., not kick coverage) playing time for Brown, and maybe starting later in the season. True freshman, first game starter against Dana Holgorson and WVU?
I'm sold on potential and likely performance. I'm not sold on first game starter.
Not sold on Humphrey as a freshman yet. He's not terribly physical, and hasn't participated in Cochran's conditioning. Worlds of speed and talent. Whether that translates into meaningful positional time in 2014 is another question.He'll start, trust meFreshman corners, Brown and Humphrey. It'll work. sip
I hope Humphrey beats out everybody else. And I expect that to happen. Next year or the year after.

When someone talks smack like Dupre' is talking smack, no matter how playful it may be, it means he's worried he has to face that guy he's talking smack about on the field and it's bothering him....jus sayin
Yep. It's like a kid about to get a shot, the doc is sweet talking him, asking him how he's doing in baseball, and the kid blurts out "just do it already, doc!" Can't stand the waiting.When someone talks smack like Dupre' is talking smack, no matter how playful it may be, it means he's worried he has to face that guy he's talking smack about on the field and it's bothering him....jus sayin
Since CNS won't let the players talk, it would be good to put a muzzle on parents of players as well.
Biggest concern is just his health. Any struggles with the corner-back position early on and we will be getting a major dose of what Brown can do for us, from the get go.
